[0040] Specifically, the limiting piece 1011 is a limiting rod; the locking sliding block 12 is located between the two clamping arms 11 and is in sliding or rolling contact with the two clamping arms 11 on both sides; the two side edges of the locking sliding block 12 in contact with the clamping arms 11 are inclinedly arranged in the direction of the limiting rod; and the two clamping arms 11 are opened and clamped on the limiting rod under the drive of the locking sliding block 12.

Such a design enables the clamping arms to complete the opening and closing actions by relying on the structure itself through the clever cooperation of the trapezoidal width of the locking sliding block and the transmission part, which simplifies the driving mechanism and improves the stability and efficiency of the operation; when the transmission part alternately contacts the distal end and the proximal end of the locking sliding block, the clamping arms are respectively in the open and closed states, making the assembly or locking process more smooth and reliable.
